Following the success of the second edition of ‘Street Nights’, the street-culture event is back, taking over a new street in Dubai. The Walk at JBR will be animated by unique street food, street art, and musical performances for the delight of visitors and street culture enthusiasts. The event will take place, from Thursday April 30 to Saturday May 9, 2015 at X section of The Walk

Yumtingz, Parkhouse, Ghaf Kitchen, Moti Roti, Panifico, Brooklyn Bros, Melt and Homebakery will enchant foodies with their original food trucks as they feature tasty new street food concepts. Visitors at The Walk at JBR will be able to grab a bite on-the-go while admiring live street art performances and grooving to the sound of urban beats.

Mohammed Bin Essa, Executive Director of Retail and Commercial at MASAT, the retail arm of DPG said: “The Walk at JBR is one of Dubai’s most iconic destinations and we strive to bring latest in urban entertainment to our residents and visitors. The Street Nights concept fits perfectly with The Walk’s vibe as well as the emerging street culture of Dubai.”
